THOR RACE REPORT: DESALLE FOURTH IN UDDEVALLA-SWEDEN

A wet and windy Uddevalla circuit still attracted a great crowd for round 16 of the MXGP series held in Sweden over the weekend. THOR’s Clement Desalle was a few points shy of a podium result with the slippery underground making racing tight and tricky. Desalle’s 4-4 result still keeps him in contention for an overall podium challenge in the championship with 3 rounds to go.

Max Nagl’s Swedish excursion did not have a silver lining as the German battled with bad luck in both moto’s. A broken front break in moto one sidelined the number 12 bike. A gutsy performance in moto 2 after a rider landed on this while in 4th place, Nagl had to remount and fought back to 15th spot.

Brit Max Anstie battled with starts the entire weekend. On a track that was difficult to pass on Anstie could only manage a 13-8 score. He will certainly look forward to the next round in the USA which takes place on 3 September.

Young gun, Mikkel Haarup, secured 3rd overall in Sweden to end his 125 European Championship campaign in 2nd overall. The friendly Dane will progress to the EMX250 class for 2018.
